Central SMBH in cluster member galaxies

This images correspond to Figure 3 of Mahler et al. 2022. (complete reference will be added pending acceptance). Lensing configuration of galaxies with increasing mass of central SMBH from top to bottom following respectively 0, 1E6, 1E7, 1E8, 1E9, 1E10 Msol. Left: 1E12 Msol galaxy place outside the cluster main critical. We can see that the main effect of a massive SMBH is to remove the central critical curve of the galaxy. Right: 1E12 Msol galaxy place inside the cluster main critical. In this case the effect of the increase mass of the SMBH shrink the the central part of the galaxy critical to the point that it can split it into to at high mass. All snippet have a width of 20 arcseconds

Animation of a increasing mass for a central SMBH at the center of a 1E12 Msol galaxy. Placed outside the main critical curve the main feature is first the disapearance of the interanl critical curve of the galaxy.
